      Horizon - Microsoft Teams integration

      Use the Teams integration to receive helpful notifications, reminders and weekly reports from Horizon inside your Teams instance.

      How does it work?

      Horizon for Teams integrates into a channel of your choosing (or a group chat), and helps your team by sending messages like the following:

      New task assignee notifications

      Whenever a task is assigned to someone new in Horizon, you'll see a notification appear in Teams with the name of the task, and who it was assigned to.

      Task due reminders

      Stay on top of everything with reminders for due tasks. Running a security program can be a lot to manage - reminders help ensure things are getting done by the due date.

      These reminders can be interacted with directly in Teams - Start, Complete or Assign the task to yourself - all from Teams.

      Weekly reports

      Weekly reports summarise all that happens inside Horizon. From progress on your various frameworks, to tasks created, started, and completed - we capture a snapshot of activity that's happened over the last week. Weekly reports are only sent if there has been some activity in the last week.
